Sales figures	554	473	17.1%	19.4%	1 557	1 511	3.1%	4.1%

Q3 2024 Highlights
Demand for telecom equipment was further impacted by the reduction in investment programs by major operators and the need to reduce inventories. In addition, the geopolitical environment and the threat of strikes at US East Coast ports led to longer delivery times.
The “Supply Chain Services” business was impacted by the slowdown in consumption in North America. On the other hand, demand for optical disc held up better than expected.

Outlook
The successful integration of Home Networks activities and the speed with which we have streamlined our operations have enabled us to confirm our guidance for 2024.

• EBITDA > 140 million euros
• FCF⁽¹⁾ > 0 million euros

“Connected Home” revenues accounted for 79% of Group revenues for the quarter (72% in Q3 23), and totaling 436 million euros, an increase of 28.6%. At constant exchange rates, the increase would have been 31.4% compared to Q3 2023. All regions reported higher contributions. Video activities benefited from the consolidation of Home Networks sales. The broadband business experienced weak demand from certain operators, who are reducing their inventories. In addition, longer delivery times due to security issues around the Suez Canal and the threat of strikes in U.S. East Coast ports have delayed some deliveries into the next quarter.

Supply Chain Services

	Q3				9M
In millions of euros, continuing operations	2024	2023	Change at current rate	Change at constant rate	2024	2023	Change at current rate	Change at constant rate
Sales figures	118	134	(11.9)%	(10.9)%	324	365	(11.3)%	(10.7)%

“Supply Chain Services” sales for the quarter represented 21% of Group sales (28% in Q3 23) and amounted to 118 million euros for the quarter, down 11.9% compared to Q3 23. At constant exchange rates, the decline would have been 10.9%. This decrease is explained by the continued decline in the optical disk business, which however performed better than our expectations. Growth activities continued to grow rapidly.
